He's probably been one of the most popular QB's amongst players since he's been in the league. Through all his ups and downs. Also say what you want about Belichick but he's the most renowned coach in the league, consistently puts together a top tier defense, and his team is always well prepared and competes, something that you can't say about the Falcons recently... and if you are Julio, their biggest need was WR and he's Julio Jones. I'm not debating anything you said, but Cam hasn't shown what so ever he still has it, nor has Bellichick built a respectable offensive roster the past 3-4 years.

But given his age, injury history, declining production, and cost……no thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I’m bringing up Devin Funchess. 1st for Julio is too much. Holy moly, OUT OF TOUCH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely fair to say "cost isn't worth it" But you're crazy if you think he's not a big upgrade on the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That offense would of been Top 5 if Julio stays. And their young defense started geling the second half of the season. I feel like you been pegging them as a playoff team for the past 3 years.

Xenos Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 What does Julio have left? https://www.si.com/nfl/2021/05/24/monday-afternoon-quarterback-julio-jones-trade-block Quote • The piece relating to what Jones has left in the tank is fascinating, because that’s very much a moving target, and goes directly to his health. Jones suffered a Jones fracture preparing for the 2011 combine—a foot injury that he’s needed to manage, really, for the duration of his 10-year career. He’s also had knee issues. And the totality of it led to astute defensive coaches picking up on routes he could and couldn’t run when those problems were bothering him. With the foot, he’d have trouble on in-breaking routes. With the knee, he’d have trouble cutting off it. In both cases, patterns emerged where the Falcons were working scheme-wise around those injuries, moving Jones around a lot and not putting him in disadvantageous spots. So if you’re a team trading for him, it’s definitely not been an all-the-time thing, but you’d have the prospect of dealing with that. And then, there’s how all that might affect Jones’s ability to practice, an issue that could become bigger going to a new team where he has to learn a new system and mesh with a new quarterback. Now, all of that said: When healthy, in flashes, he’s still looked like the same guy and has the straight-line speed to threaten down the field. “I think he’s still Julio in the sense that can change a game, whether it’s with his actual ability, or his perceived ability,” said one pro scouting director. “People still have to pay attention to him. But the last couple years, when he’s not healthy, you’re limited with what he can do within the offense, since there are certain routes he can’t run. That limits where they line him up, and some coordinators are smart enough to figure out what he can and can’t run.” Add his age into the equation, and while it’s easy to see where Jones is still really enticing as a player, it’s just as simple figuring why other teams would move with trepidation on this one, especially when looking at what he might be down the line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s really, really bad at predictions. We don’t need to rehash them though. as a falcons fan, I get your broader point. The falcons have had enough good players over the last few years to actually be good. It they simply haven’t been more often than not.

I don’t see that big upgrade anymore. *shrug* 9 games of Julio is better than 16 games of any Chargers receiver not named Keenan Allen Like I said, its fair that you think the cost is too steep. But to think he isn't a serious upgrade over Mike Williams is delusional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
